Situated at the far end of St Annes road East lies the "remains" of the
hospital. Surrounded by trees it displays what a treasure the stonework
must have been. Truly a jewel in the crown of St Annes. Victorian
opulence gone bonkers. Beautiful stone work. Morris homes eat your
heart out!
The inscription reads:
I run past here about 3 times a week. The entrance is set slightly back. I wonder what happened to the residents. It is certainly strangely quiet even though there are houses in the grounds.
The inscription reads:
ST ANNES WAR MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
1922 - 1991
Opened by Lord Derby in May 1922
this former Bannister family home
was gifted to the community by
Lord Ashton, to honour local war dead
Supported entirely by
public subscription until 1948,
it closed in 1991, and was
demolished in 1996

| The main entrance. I can't help but think some of the brickwork has been renovated and rebuilt |
